Woodwork for Inventor uses its own mortise cutting method which, unlike conventional systems, primarily allows you to quickly arrange hardware fittings in a model and to automatically cut required holes accordingly.

Woodwork for Inventor analyses the position of a component in respect of parts and executes the automatic cutting of mortises and tenons in parts by a single command. Since a joining component brings in its form any adjustment transfers to the parts, this helps to ensure the synchronicity of mortises and tenons in all joining parts. This greatly reduces the number of related errors as compared to conventional design methods. Here’s a video illustrating Japanese joint creation.
